Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players
*•+ -I-*-!- -*••* •b*-b 4-*-b
No. 6---Daubert, Kicked Around Dixie, Big Show Star
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
TUDGE WILLIAM KAVANAUGH
in his annual report made to
J the Southern league members
jch spring will declare that the
ganization that he heads is about
ie classiest little thing ever as
sembled under a minor league ban
ner. The sentiment will be greet
fl once a year by some hip-hip
hooray stuff from Messrs. Calla
way. Woodward. Coleman. Hirsig.
Jones. Hervey, Andrews and Frank,
who are more or less interested in
the aforementioned organization.
It is the one subject on which
they agree with an unanimity that
would have been typical of a Re
-1 itbliean convention before Bob La-
Follette discovered the word “Pro
gressive” and T. R. snatched it as
his own most prized possession.
But it is hardly possible that
these gentlemen could grow so en
thusiastic, even after one of those
famous Southern league dinners, as
to rise on their hind legs and claim
that the league headed by the smil
ing and affable Kavanaugh has it
on the American and National
leagues in class just like Sarah
Bernhard possesses talents that lit
tle Emma Bunting could hardly as
pire to.
Daubert Was Kicked Around,
And yet it is written —and writ
ten boldly in Southern league his
tory—that Jake Daubert was kick
ed around this circuit just like
Champ Clark's houn’ during the
Baltimore convention
Jacob now is the subject of col
umns of tribute in the major league
press. Experts proclaim him the
greatest first baseman who ever
performed. The glories of Anson,
Brouthers, Carey. Tenney. Davis.
Chance—yea. even the glory of
Chase —have been eclipsed by this
star of the South.
But the fact remains that for
two seasons Mr. Daubert remained
in these parts and there was no
weep, no wail, no considerable
gnashing of teeth when the news
of his purchase by Brooklyn was
published.
Daubert came South in the good
\ ear of 1908. Chase had just revo
lutionized first base play by his
marvelous left-hand performances.
Every major league manager looked
> arefully and favorably on south
paws who had any taient for play
ing the initial sack accordingly.
Port-sided infielders had suddenly
become all the rage, just like the
hobble skirt and initiative, refer
endum and recall.
Gift to Bili Bernhard.
Nap Lajoie was handling the
destinies of the Cleveland club,
and he had dug Daubert from the
gloomy regions of some bush league
as a first base experiment. It didn’t
take him more than a minute to
decide, however, that George Sto
' all was not ripe for the can. nor
Daubert for classy company.
That year Lajoie’s old side kick.
Bill Bernhard, was making his bow
as a Southern league manager,
holding forth at Nashville. When
' 'leveland reached Nashville on the
way home to open the season, Dau
b?rt was left in the Tennessee cap
ital for Bernhard to ripen and
make the most of.
Daubert’s fielding was brilliant,
though in his Southern league days
he was riot a Chase by a few hun
dred yards, to say the least. And,
more than that, he seemed lament-

“Nice - looking first baseman,”
said the sages, “but he’ll never do
in the big show. He can’t even hit
down here.”
When Daubert was claimed by
Cleveland, after Nashville had land
ed the pennant, the South simply
said that railroad fare was being
wasted. He would have to be sent
back in a few months.
As far as the Nap management
was concerned, the South’s judg
ment was correct. Daubert did not
stay in the Ohio city long enough
to learn that Tom L. Johnson was
that metropolis’ most prominent
citizen.
Babb Took Castoff.
He was sent to Toledo, but the
Mud Hen leader couldn’t see him
with a spyglass, and he was put
on the market. Charley Babb, of
Memphis, was in dire straits for a
first baseman. In fact, Babb was
in dire straits for every kind of a
ball player. He grabbed Daubert
up, and the left-handed Jake was
once more enrolled on a Southern
ball team.
Scouts infested the section that
year. A dozen promising young
sters were scheduled to go up, but
Memphis looked so bad that few of
them visited the Bluff City.
Old Larry Button took a chance
and paid railroad fare to Red Elm
park. That night he wired C. Her
cules Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn Baseball club, that he
had found the first baseman of
the age.
He came mighty near telling the
truth.
FODDER FOR FANS
hrank C<, *nce says that if the no-booze
clause is stuck in the players’ contracts
it ought to go for National league meet
ings, too. "I went to one once,” §aid
Chance, “and about all I saw was a bunch
of drunks. I didn't go to any more.”

The Appalachian league has forbidden

move by the Appalachian undoubtedly
makes Asheville good and sore.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
Daubert reported, but there was
a mountain in his way.
Tim Jordan had for several sea
sons been occupying first base for
• the Dodgers, and it seemed about
as easy a task to remove Jordan
from that spot as it would be to
make Atlanta forget that Jim
Woodward ever existed. He had
smashed more fences than any
other major league player, and
was the one bright spot in the sec
ond city of Greater New York.
Jordan’s Sun Sets.
Daubert showed jp for practice
and Jordan's sun began to set. The
southpaw Southern leaguer cov
ered more territory. He thought
quicker. He was far more sure on
wild heaves and, wonder of all
wonders, he made Brooklyn forget
that Jordan could hit.
From the minute he donned his
Dodger uniform, he forgot his
Southern league reputation as a
mark for hurlers and began pound
ing the pill to a fare-you-well,
which place is located somewhere
near Armageddon, and only T. R.
knows where Armageddon is on the
map.
Jordan was soon shipped to To
ronto. and Daubert was placed in
sole possession of the first pillow.
.He is there now. He’ll stay there
for several seasons, and. looking
back on the South, he probably will
murmur something about a proph
et not being without honor save on
his own stamping ground.
For Daubert, once despised in the
South, is now’ premier first base
man of the whole bloomin’ world,
which includes the South and cer
tain sections of Brooklyn.
The men are Shawkey, Vickers. Danforth,
Roth and Banker.

AUBURN'S HEAVY
LINE FEftRED IN
JACKET CMP
With the opening signal practice Mon
day afternoon at the flats, the Yellow-
Jackets started on their last month of
football, and if they can finish the month
with an even break, they will have done
wonderfully well this season, considering
the "nucleus” of old men and the small
amount of material to be drawn from.
Next Saturday they will go up against
their old-time rival. Auburn, and from all
indications this is not the year for the
Jackets to sting the Alabama boys.
Last year was the opportune time and
but for a lucky catch of a forward pass
by Newell, an Auburn substitute, Tech
would have come out on top
Last year Tech gained more than a
hundred yards more ground tnan Auburn,
was penalized more and punted for the
most number of yards, xpt the game went
the other way.
Tech has plugged up these little defi
cient points, but can they carry the ball
down the field this year as they did last
year? Can Tech’s light ends break the
onslaught of Auburn’s magnificent inter
ference .’
Last year Patterson, on all-Southern
choice for two years, backed up the line
for Tech with 190 pounds of as good man
as there was in the South.
Goree, an all-Southern man and a bril
liant player, played a side back and
helped Patterson in stopping Auburn’s
line bucks.
Sanchez, an extra good player of 185
pounds, played one defensive end. with
Thomason and Black playing the other.
These men were four-year men. all weigh
ing more that! 170.
Take a glance at the defensive men
this year. Hutton backs up the line. He
is a good low tackler, with plenty of
nerve and a good head: but —weighs 163
and his first year on varsity.
This is but one instance, but Tech has
never gone into a game with colors droop
ing. and dope is worthless when calculat
ing on a team that has an unknown
quantity of "never die" spirit, and the
score may be different from what seems
the inevitable.

Spurting Editor. Georgian:
Dear Sir: "A," one team; "B," an
other. “A” kicks from one-yard line
toward "B's” goal. Ball goes fifteen
yards, bounces back across goal, and
"A” can not touch it until “B” has, and
“B” didn’t touch it until it crossed the
line, then fell on it. Please render de
cision.
* This occurred in a game at Emory.
No decision was made except that “B”
was given ball on one-yard line.
T. B. M.
It seems incredible that a ball could
bound back fifteen yards after a kick,
but anything is likely to happen when
a football hits the ground, so it is pre
sumed that the ball bounded back with
out touching players of either side. In
this case it was clearly a touchdown
for "B." If the players of the "A”
team had a chance to fall on the ball
before it got over the goal line and
didn't, they pulled a bone and cost
themselves a touchdown.
